it is actually quite common in some areas to have the celebration at the Synagogue. Mine was held there and many of my friends had theirs there.
and Sister Havana, your experience sounds very similar to mine. i had lessons with the cantor for about 4-5 months prior to my Bat Mitzvah learning both portions and much of the service.
